CRM-500 looks like a sweet best.
I had open class 2-strokes from 1980 to 1997 & had a blast on them with the 81 490 Maico being my favorite.
Can only imagine how that 500 in a modern frame runs & handles!!!
I have been walking by mine looking at them collecting dust if that counts...
Many doctor & other testing accept a contracted amount from you insurance company that is a lot less than the billed amount is.
My back surgery had 2 rods, 6 screws & 2 bmp bone graph protein that cosy over $25,000 bucks billed....waiting to see what insurance actually
pays them but the...
Looks like Travis Pastrana finished 10th today at 2013 NASCAR Nationwide Series at Daytona.

Pretty good results for just starting out!

Bummer & hope you had insurance on them.
Years ago had a few buddies in Maryland have someone follow them home from a practice track, waited for them to leave stealing 3 bikes & everything
in their box van. Cops said they probably sold them cheap for drug money.
One of the bikes...
Look very nice & anything with ankle piviots has my vote.
Was a Hi-Point fan in the old days but have liked Gaernes best for the last 10 years or so as they fit well, don't feel bulky, no break intime & bottoms last forever.
Bikes looking good & welcome aboard!
Where did you find that fork brace on the blue one or did it come with it as I always wanted to put one on my Maico as when riding modern
tracks that were rough the forks wouls flex a lot on my 76 Maico & about bit it one time as the front wheel was...
Yes as Fred got a 81 490 Maico, 82 KTM 495 & think one or two more KTMs from Dirty Harry's.
Dirt bought out the parts from a dealer in Clarksburg, WV that closed up thinking Terry Reid was the owner.
We use to run up to Pittsburg a few times a year as they had a great shop with lots of...
Good press & glad to see a place for some more people to ride in the winter!
Bet all those windows with some natural lighting coming in cut way down on construction cost for adding lights & save them some on the electric bill.
Who know maybe after that great heat race his knee started acting up again or we may never know what really happended.
He has been looking pretty smooth on the Suzuki this year & may have finally settled down some but hope it was not too late as he
has taken a lot of hard hits the past few...
Bell or anyone for that mater should be pulled for the night as a get off like that had to rattle his entire body. One race or title is not worth risking
your life over. These guys are sub-human as I would still be laying there today....LOL!
I always though the racing would be more exciting if they did a Nascar style start with say 3 or 4 rows so riders of equal speed are together which would make more bar to bar action thru the entire race. Use the heat races for row picks just like gate pickes are done now.
Tom you have lots of time to pick up a PV bike & better hurry before the snow melts!
If you rode mine you would want it plus with all new plastic I want to be the first one to add the normal scuff marks.
I have had that happen several times...go to get one bike & the guy wanting to clear them out either gives me another one or sells it to me for 50 bucks.
